What makes you think that the white deposits on the tomatoes are in fact copper

Last I heard was that copper sulphate crystals were blue!

It says "Bordeaux mixture" on the pack.
It says it contains copper sulphate BUT the powder inside and the
deposit left on the plants is white. I also thought it would be blue.
Perhaps someone can explain!
